“We are grateful for the precious time you share with us and for playing our game. On July 10th, we released a service announcement prematurely which caused confusion to our players. We apologize and take this seriously, and we’re working on a better process to not do that again. We promise to work harder to explain new services or changes, and share how we arrive at our solutions. Thank you!”  - Jenova Chen, Creative Director of Sky 


Early Adventure Pass Holders
thatgamecompany apologizes to veteran Sky players who were early adopters of our Adventure Pass (AP). We hear your frustrations expressed by veteran Sky players who spent real money on the Adventure Pass and feel that the introduction of the ‘Traveling Spirit’ feature betrayed the original expectation of the limited items would never return which in turn has negated or decreased the value of the money spent.

Our community trust is paramount to us, and so we will take immediate steps to:
  • Fix messaging around AP spirits and their prospective return in-game.
  • Balance and improve the ‘Traveling Spirit’ feature to be economically fair for veteran and new players.
  • Listen to your ongoing feedback as we beta-test and continually balance AP and ‘Traveling Spirit’ as we assign time to develop these changes.

Some veteran fans notified us their early AP refund requests to Apple and Google were declined. As we work hard to improve the ‘Traveling Spirit’ feature, we want to honor our apology back in the game. Apple and Google prohibit us from any monetary refunds through the store or app. As a bare minimum, we can offer options for an in-game return policy should you wish.
